Yearly Archives: 2022

Is twice a winner at this course and has been very consistent this season, bar one run at Chepstow where he struggled on the track. He has yet to prove he stays the one mile one furlong but he hit the line well over a mile last time out. Good ground is fine for him…

After winning by a wide margin at Hamilton three runs back, Wynter Wildes took a big hike in his rating but still went very close both at Nottingham and then on this track and trip. Now 15lb higher than for the win, he is one of only two three-year-olds in a strong line-up. We will…

Proud Fairy has been gradually improving with her racing and looks a possible for a place today. The snag is the favourite, who looks very hard to beat.

Rampage is top-weight here having struggled in his three novice/maiden races so far. He should find this a more realistic challenge and we are hopeful he can go well despite the big weight.

Dark Shot is a long way the bottom-weight in this Stewards' Cup consolation which has attracted a surprisingly small field. He was running well in the spring and although very much in the veteran stage, it would not be the biggest shock if he outran his odds today.

Course winner but need to bounce back from a poor run at Kempton last time out. But didn’t seem to see out that 2m trip that day so the drop back to 1m6f here will suit and seems to be better for that last race with it coming off 2 months off. The Portman and…

Still looking for first career win from 6 races. But is fit and well after two races this summer but we are running out of the handicap here so will need to find something. On a plus, gets in here with just 10-2 to carry again and loves the quicker ground. Small e/w based on…

Went very close last week at Sandown in a race with similar conditions. Has run once here in the past over further and ran well enough to suggest he should be ok on the track.

Second runner in the race for us and looks to have a leading chance too. Yet to win a race but has only had 5 career runs and been in the top three 4 times. Stayed on well over 2m4f last time too so the step up in trip this time is a plus and…

Comes here in winning form after a short-head win at Chepstow. Harder race here up in grade but only 2lbs higher than last outing. Trip and ground are fine and has run well here at Goodwood in the past. Dylan Hogan keeps the ride and not without an each-way squeak in a very open and…

Has been in great form lately, she only went up a pound for her win last time. Unfortunately Rose Dawes, who has been winning on her lately, is injured at present so Laura Coughlin takes over as the mare will only win for the girls! She seems well at home so we hope she has…

Is an exciting prospect who has won 2 of his first 3 races. This is a big step up in grade but he beat a decent horse giving it a lot of weight last time out and I think that run has been underestimated. He should love the track and ground.

Has taken an age to come to hand this year but finally managed to run a half decent race last time out. He should like the track and I have no reason to think he wouldn’t go on the ground.

Bucko's Boy is out of a mare we used to train who won a couple of bumpers and over hurdles, this son of Midnight Legend won a bumper at Hexham.  After a couple of frustrating falls over hurdles, he won a maiden hurdle last season at Fakenham.  However, things didn't fall his way through the…

The Mouse King ran well two runs ago around Chelmsford and seems to run better on all-weather as he has a dirt pedigree. He has a good draw today and should be thereabouts again.

Shahbaz ran a lovely race when a 33/1 shot on debut at Yarmouth, staying on nicely at the finish. He will know more about it today and while it is no penalty kick, we have to be very hopeful.

Light Up Our Stars won three in a row for Tony Carroll around Chelmsford and after one more decent run on turf he moved across to us. We were delighted when he won nicely at Epsom and while he is up 5lb for that he remains in great form and should be competitive again today.

Andaleep has an excellent course and distance record and should be competitive. We think he can build on the good form he has always shown since joining us.

Fascinating Lips made a good comeback after a six-month break when second in an amateur riders' handicap at Newbury. His mark is unchanged as he drops into selling company and he looks the stand-out on form here.

Moondial steps into nursery company for the first time after her best run on her latest outing. She should continue her progress here although her wide draw is not ideal.
